"While 2007 was a successful year on many fronts, we were saddened by two tragic accidents which claimed the lives of a customer in Toronto, Ontario and two Enbridge employees based in Superior, Wisconsin. Enbridge continues to work closely with regulatory authorities to investigate the causes of the incidents."

Commenting on the Company's project execution, Mr. Daniel said, "During 2007, we completed a number of smaller pipeline projects and significantly advanced construction and regulatory activities on our major projects. In 2008, we will see a number of more significant projects come into service. These projects will enhance our position as an essential link between the oil sands resource in Canada and crude oil demand in the United States.

"We are particularly pleased with progress made on our Texas Access joint venture with ExxonMobil Pipeline Company which we anticipate will bring Canadian oil sands sourced crude oil to the Texas Gulf Coast in 2011. This project will enable Canadian producers and Gulf Coast refiners to share a heavy crude price differential between Alberta and the Gulf Coast which averaged over $10 per barrel in the last quarter of 2007, net of the expected pipeline transportation cost. That is $1.5 billion per year at 400,000 barrels per day alone. The Texas Access joint venture can deliver this benefit to our customers much sooner than any other alternative by taking advantage of our existing mainline system for two-thirds of the distance, and ExxonMobil's multi-line right-of-way for the other third.

"We are also pleased to be leading a CO2 sequestration initiative. Projects like this one hold promise to offset the environmental impacts of oil sands production which is essential to the energy future of Canada and the United States.

"We look forward to the next four years as a time of exciting transformation for the Company when all of our commercially secured projects are expected to come into service, adding significantly to cash flows and earnings. Based on our outlook, we expect adjusted operating earnings to be in the range of $1.80 to $1.90 per common share for 2008, before accelerating rapidly in the three following years for an average annual growth rate over the four year period of approximately 10%. This visible and robust outlook provides confidence in increasing our dividend, for the thirteenth consecutive year.

"Our 2008 capital expenditures budget approximates $3.7 billion, which compares with 2007 capital expenditures of $2.3 billion," Mr. Daniel concluded. "Complementing our ready access to capital markets, and potential asset monetization plans, we have increased our credit facilities to approximately $6.6 billion to ensure ample financial resources for our growth program."
